Wireless Sensor Network

Laboratory Assignments/Experiments:

1. Reading data from sensor node.

2. Implement 50 stationary nodes topology using NS2 for data transmission and record QOS

parameters of the networks/ test bed.

3. Implement 50 dynamic nodes topology using NS2 for data transmission and record QOS

parameters of the networks / test bed.

4. On any above topology change the network layer/transport layer/MAC layer protocol and

monitor the changes between any two protocols/ test bed using Network Simulator.

Course Outcomes:

1. The student will understand the architecture of WSN network.

2. The student will understand the physical layer related aspects of WSN network.

3. The student will exhibit the knowledge of power management in wireless communication

systems.

4. The student will exhibit the knowledge of security aspects of WSN systems.
